Trash Compactors
We all learned the basic principle in our younger days. When the trash basket appears full, some energetic stomping lets you put in a lot more trash before it has to be emptied. Simple.
Intelligent trash handling on nearly any scale depends on the same principle. The human foot is replaced with the hydraulic ram, but the effect is the same. More trash in less space. Less hauling.
On the average, 80% of trash is air. Compacting can reduce it to less than a forth of its original bulk. Much of the material you are sending to the landfill may also be recyclable.
The compacting tool is a hydraulic ram generating as much as 60 tons of force. Very few things which would be considered waste can stand up to that force. Without laboring over detail, that is the basic science of trash compacting.
Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. With so many options out there, you need an expert to guide you to the best system for your facility.
